What's up guys? I believe you are doing well. Greetings from Sri Lanka. Yesterday was my holiday and I was very quickly started to cook healthy vegan food for lunch. I asked from my wife, what's better to cook. After few minutes later she gave good idea to me. I went to local vegetable market and bought nutritious lotus roots. Many people don't know the healthy benefits of lotus root. I have heard some of useful advantages which we eat lotus root melas. So today I am going to sharing how I prepare delicious lotus root curry since our home.
Ingredients
200 grams of Lotus root
Chopped Garlic
Chopped green chillies
Pandan leaves and curry leaves
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped onions
Two tablespoons of oil
Fenugreek 1/4 tsp
Half a teaspoon of mustard seeds
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
A teaspoon of chilli powder
Half a teaspoon of curry powder
Half a teaspoon of black pepper powder
Salt to taste
Half a cup of condensed coconut milk
1/4 cup liquid coconut milk
Preparing method
First wash the lotus root well with water. It is important to wash as much as possible as lotus tubers may contain mud and sand as they are formed in mud. Then cut them into small pieces.
Heat a pan and add oil. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and splutter them.
Then add fenugreek seeds and chopped garlic and fry.
Now add chopped onions, pandan leaves, curry leaves and chopped green chillies to it. Then add black pepper powder and stir.
Then add curry powder and chilli powder, stir and fry.
Next, I added finely chopped lotus root to the spice mixture. Then Turmeric powder was added. Add 1/4 cup liquid coconut milk, mix and cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes.
Then add salt as needed, add condensed coconut milk and cook a little. Then add the chopped tomato pieces and cook for another 5 minutes and remove from the heat.
Before cooked lotus root curry, we have prepared lotus root with mixed dhal only. So we didn't know how other lotus root recipe's taste. Now I understand better how we can enhance the delicous taste with added some spices. You can try this recipe via using preparing method.
